M' /LL ATTORNEY "UNITE PERLEY MoNEIL, OF BINGHAMTON, NEW YORK.

WINDOW SHADE-BRACKET AND CURTAIN-POLE HOLDER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PERLEY MoNEIL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Binghainton, in the county of Broome and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window Shade Brackets and Curtain-Pole Holders, of which the following is a s ecification.

My invention re ates to improvements in window shade brackets in which a bracket is supported by an open beveled slot and held in any given position by means of a thumbscrew.

The object of my improvement is to provide an adjustable inexpensive support for a window shade or curtain bracket. It is easily made and of durable construction and which can be fitted to any ordinary window casing.

My invention consists of a window shade bracket supporter and comprises a plate pro vided with an open slot in which the curtain pole holder rests and means for attaching the plate to the Window casing. The bracket is adjustably positioned by sliding through an open beveled slot on the interior of the plate.

My invention also embodies other novel features of construction and combinations of parts as hereinafter set forth.

Figure l. is a partial elevation of a window showing my invention in position. Fig. 2. is a perspective view of my device. Fig. 3. is a cross section taken on line 3. 3 of Fig. 1.

Similar characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

In the drawing A represents a plate having within it the open beveled slot B. Through this slot passes the beveled arm of the shade bracket 0 as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The arm C as it passes through the slot is supported by the beveled sides of the slot D and D as shown in Fig. 3. The plate is provided with the thumbscrew E by which the sliding arm C is clamped at any given point desired and held. The arm 0 is bent outward so as to form the right supporting bracket arm F, as shown in Fig. 2. The one bracket has upon it the projection H and the other the projection I. Projection H has let into it the circular bearing J and the projection I has let into it the slotted bearing K. The

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed November I, 1907.

Patented March 16, 1909.

Serial No. 400,494.

plate A is perforated at the points 1, 2, 3, 4, for the insertion of screws for holding the plate firmly against the window casing and through these are inserted the screws L and M as shown in Fig. 3 and the plate is thus held firmly against the casing yet leaving the arm 0 free to be moved back and forth through the open beveled slot B in plate A.

In operation the plates A A are fastened to the window casing. Then the beveled supporting arms C and C are inserted in the open beveled slots in the plates and adjusted to the proper distance and the curtain or shade pole placed in position its ends resting Within the curved brackets N and N. If a window shade is supported the spindle or axis ends of the shade roller are inserted in the round and slotted brackets J and K respectively and are thus supported by the brackets F and G respectively. 4

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and for which I desire Letters Patent are as follows:

A combined window shade and curtain pole support comprising brackets having straight portions with beveled edges and outstanding angular arms at the ends of such straight portions, curved pole receiving hooks at the ends of the angular arms, projections on the inward faces of the arms, a circular bearing in the projection of one of the arms and an angular slotted bearing in the projection of the opposite arm to receive the spindle of the shade roller, and supporting plates for the brackets, said plates each having an open channel in the rear face thereof receiving the straight portions of the brackets and having inwardly undercut beveled edges to cooperate with the beveled edges of the brackets, and clamping screws engaged in the outer portions of the sup orting plates bearing inwardly against the rackets to force the beveled edges of the brackets in binding engagement with the sides of the undercut channels in the plates.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature, in presence of two witnesses.

PERLEY MoNEIL.
